sooo, the reason i wanna go CA...its like screaming "drift motor" to me.its a 4 cyl, same as sr and ka. but i like it better cause it is like a mini RB. plus it just sounds sick. i mean, "CA18DET". it's a mini RB. turbo. and its a rare motor choice.sorry, reply is some what lengthy.

Why do you have 2 threads going about the same thing? Stick with one or the other.

anyone know how to do an inexpensive mod to the headlights for the sleepy eyes to work with lights on??i got the brownish/orangish wire cut and i can do it with lights off but when i turn the lights on, the headlights retract down and then return to the full raised position. any one tried this?

I grantee that this thread is going to go in the same direction. All because you dont like what others have to say even though you asked others opinions, dont mean you make another thread or post back in forth about the same thing. Its pointless and not to be rude but your asking for the flaming by doing so.
